. ·.COLI.EGE ElmOLLMENT Judging by letters of inquiry and appli­cations already received for entrance in the college, we fc 0l th-t enrollment w.ill be up in the fall. It is difficult to mention individu~lly all the Alums who have corresponded with us concerning prospective students. However, we do wish to •xpress our appreciation to each and evecy 'one of you. It is largely through your efforts that students come here to school so ke ep up the good work J We need your help now and in the future. Your loyalty is most important to us.

SPRING DEMONSTRATION l YOU ARE INVITED l

PLEASE COME ! We are h~ppy to announce that the Annual Spring Demonstration of the Normal College students will be held on Friday, May 21 at 8:(X) p.m. Following the Demonstration there will be a square dance in the East Room of the Athenaeum for students and visitors. Reed Moody will be the caller. All Alums and friends are cordially invited to . attend.

FROM OUR INTERESTING MAIL DEPARTMENT A most enthusiastic letter from Don Egan tells all about his work at Central School, Verona, New York. He is teaching a great many activities ranging in level from kindergarten through evening classes for adults. He requested catalogs for two students who plan to enter the college in the fall. It is always a great satisfac­t i on for us to hear from our alums who are si ncerely interested in teaching and we are always proud of their good programs. Keep up the good work. Don is now married and has a son, Don, Jr., now 16 months old.

Paul Romeo of Syracuse Uh~versf ty writes, telling us of an exhibition given by his g:rm team at Central School and reports the excellent work Don is doi~g there. Paul had opportunity to talk with the two pros­pective students for the Normal College aud advises us that they should make ex­cellent teachers. Our thanks to Don, and to Paul too, for loyalty to our school. Wetll do our best here to help them grow into fine teachers.

Carolyn Rosin of Glasgow, Montaha writes to tell us that she will be married in June. She has enjoyed her work there very much ard reports that her superintendent has ·~< . en more than satisfied with the Normal Cnllege alums w~o have taught in that sys­tem, We certainly wish Carolyn much happi­,1ess ~ Cheo Ninos preceded· Carolyn and she, too, found a Montanan, or so we hear.

,_ note from Billie Boettjer Stewart of Indianapolis tells of visiting Mary Mc-· Cracken Jenkins in St, Petersburg, Fla., where both Mary and her husband are teach­ing. Billie is coaxing a smashed elbow back to about 70% effectiveness, the · result of an accident in the gym in October, 1952. Kathleen Ann Stewart, born March 7, is a dainty dark gypsy to go with her two big blond brothers, ages 2 and 4.

Pat Husemann of Detroit, Michigan has been vacationing and recuperating in Miami from her bout with polio. It is good to hear of her continued progress.

Frank Benson is enjoying his new position ::ts swim director for the YMHA in St. Loui~. rrank was married last December and re­turned to physical education upon the en­couragement of his wife. Best of luck in the new job.

2. The new Mrs. Patty Perry Payne of Perry~ ton Texas sent us a long newsy letter des~ribing the perils of keeping house in the Panhandle. The difficulties of cooking and the hazards of frequent dust ­storms all just add to the joy of living, Patty1 They were fortunate in finding a nice place to live right away.

It would seem from the last letter from Joe Gawrys that Korea has not improved much in recent months. He writes in some detail on methods of farming and sanita­tion which leave much to be desired ac­cording to our st ~ndards. Joe will be leaving the service soon with chance he might be out in time to start teaching in the fall.

The long lost Jane Wedekind Scalzo wrote such a nice long letter that she is for­given for being lost. Besides telling us all about her job· and some of her teaching experiences, Jane sent in some news of other alums. Ruth Scheitelin is raising cocker spaniels and has quite a business. Martha Schneider is still teaching at the Blind School and is now 5th District Chairman of Kentucky. Jane and her husband built a recreation room in their basement and now Jane hold~ gym classes at night for ladies who want to feel in condition and also want to lose a few inches here and there. She adds that she has to get her exercise someway. (This, in spite of the fact that she has a very full schedulel)

Vera Ulbricht of St. Louis reports that Bill Gerber is back in the harness at Southwest High School after enjoying a mid-winter vacation at the hospital and then recuperating at home.

We are glad to hear that Lou Montgomery, track coach at Cornell, is recovering nicely from a serious operation.

Recently a group of boys and girls from School #76 visited the college and ob­served the floor classes for a while be­fore swarming down on the floor to take part. Perhaps the most interesting part of this experience was watching the college students enjoying this opportunity for 0.;-:::temporaneous teaching.

The Normal College students have put on several programs lately at various meet­ings ~nd conferences, such as at the Ind. St.:-,te Hobby Show, the Health Fair and an

•r rds Program at the Indiana University Jnion Building, Our girls also served as ·· .. shers at the Governor's Conference on r~8 8~eation on April 27 at the State Board of Health.

RECENT VISITORS J T THE NORMAL COLLEGE ,~mong the r ecent vis i tors to the college w~ s Charles Si ebert of Chi cago who stopped in for t he first time since l eaving t he school in 1921. We ar G sorry t hat no one was in the office since he was here on Saturday and we hope that he will be able to stop in again on his wny home. C.H. Rodgers, a principal of a grade school in Herald, Ill., who attended the College during the 1917 summer session, visited for a short while . He made the statement that the physicnl education teacher has the finest relationship with the students of the entire faculty. He also feels that his physical education teaching h~s made his long career possi­ble. Other visitors include Shnrrol Goddard Lampert,-Lou Taperm~n, Jack Garner, Mary Mitchell, Ed Reisig, Jean Morris, Barbara Vargo, Madeline Voisard, Sharon and Shirley Parrett ~nd Betty Orebaugh Moos,

NEW EXTENSION COURSE PROPOSED 1~ number of teachers in the Indianapolis Public Schools have r equested that a course in Rhythmics taught by Clara Hester be given in the Indiana University Exten­sion. This course has been approved and a rrangements are being made so that the work may be started in the f all semester.

Our first class of seniors to return to the college ie now doing their practice teaching in tbl:3 Indianapolis Public schools and it has been gratifying to us that all r eports are very f avorable ,

ANNUAL CREAM AND CRH1SON GYM MEET by Sophomore Ed Straub of guess which team? Due to the swell organization of Wilma (Toots) Horvath and her committee and thru the very capable teaching of our technical advi sor, Mr. F. Martin, we had a very smooth running gym meet, Judges were Mr. John Lennox, member of the active class, I~r. 1Talter Lienert, physical education cirector of the Athenaeum Turners and a sophomore and a freshman . Officials were as follows: Referee, Wilma Horvath and Scorer, Terry Laba. Announcers, Joanna Somers and Da.vid Hat her. Technical advis­or, 1.rr. F. Hartin . The events t his year were ·~foments Lower and Upper grade oblig­atory side horse vaulting and· obligatory twnbling, optional side horse, parallel bar and balance beam. The men had one division only. There were optional long horse, side horse and parallel bar exercis­es and obligatory tumbling. The obligatory moves were worked out by the student committee. All around winners were Joanne Moor e of Buffalo, Women's Lower gradA with Mar gi e Black of Indianapolis, second. In t he Woments Upper grade, Wilma Horvath of South Bend did outstanding work to beat Hilda Wagner of Cleveland. In the Ments All Ar ound Division, Richard Heeschen of Cleveland took first place, winning three f irsts and a second. Ed Straub of Indian­apolis was second, Before the meet the halls r ang with the cheers of the Cream and the Crimson, and pictures were taken of the team that was sure to win, and from beginning to the near end, disappointment was never close to anyone. That is, until the announcing of those terrible words, Crimson the winne~ A word of thanks to Betty Lou Roth for the swell job she did on the ribbons and es­pecially the team trophy which will be used every year from now on. A vote of thanks to nll the freshmen for assisting with the apparatus and all the help- they contributed. I know that next ye~ r, when the time comes for them to t ake charge they will do a better job because of this fine experience,

A recent distinguished visitor was Mr.Karl Hechrich,one of our Alums, He was a guest 1 · ~ Dr.& Ers. Sputh. Our visitor is' over 80, lives in Los angeles but frequently visits his friends in the Middlewest. We were most hJ.ppy to have him visit the College.'

4. A STUDENT REPORTS ON THE MID\'i.EST One of the big events of our last semes­ter at Normal was the Vtidwest convention, All the students in the proiession were ' excused to attend. What a wonderful opportunity to catch up on the newest trends and ideas l To hear people in the same profession arguing about different subjects, tossing them one way or another, is a very interesting thing . Hearing the sessions of the convention really helps to motivate interest and makes us wonder what we actually think . The most enjoy­able session was the one on fa.rrd. ly living . The panel consisted of students from Tech High School and was directed by l11Irs . Ueredith Nicholson . The panel was burst­ing with enthtsiasm and was very anxious to tell all they knew in a short timeu I think with all the subjects that can be covered in that course, they would be talking yet l How we ever stayed awake in those 9 AM meetings is a wonder . Dancing (and dancing like only HFER majors can) until the wee hours provided for 2 wonderful evenings. All in all the Midwest was a wonderful success and as a student I feel that I gained a great deal from this experience. I would like to attend all future conventions if at all possible, and hope to gain as much from them as I did from this one.

Betty Lou Roth

Trill SOPHOMORE FAREWELL As all good things must come to an end, so must our treasure-filled two years of Normal College end. "Attention, Dress Right, Forward Marcht. 11

and other familiar commands will no long8r ring in our ears. The rush and fun of preparing our Homecoming and Spring Dem-, onstrations will no longer be ours. O~r

particular moaning and groaning of sore aching muscles will become memories which we will probably wish could become reality again. We , the Sophomore Class of '54, cannot find words to express our love an~ respect for all of our teachers and Mrs. Hester, the leading spirit of Normal College. And so, as our last semester at Normal draws to a close, we the grad­uating sophomores, wish the new sophomore ~nd freshman classes success and a new school year which is as bright with happiness as our years at Normal have been.

Hilda Wagner and Wilma Horvath

IN SYMPATHY ve wish to extend sympathy to the family and friends of George Steffens of River · Forest, Illinois who passed away Nov. 4 1953. ' Also our sympathy to the family and f ri ends of· Dr. F.C.E. Schneider who died on Feb . 27, 1953~ Dr. Schneider lived in Pe1u, Illinois. We are sorry to announce the death of Dr. ~ ~· l1...j_ '.{ofmeister, one of our prominent alun:s . He had served on our Board of Trustees and also on the St. Louis Board of Education. He began his career in physical education and later became a re­novmed surgeon. We had r eceived two news items earlier concerning Dr . Hofmeister. He had given a party in honor of Karl Heckrich which was much en joyed by his StL Louis friends. Dr. Hofmeister was also a speaker at the anniversary dinner of the Concordia Turners. Very soon after t.lriat he was hospitalized. Our sympathy is e.;):tended to his family and friends.

CHANGES AT CAMP .·ir . Heighway has just returned from an inspection tour of Camp Brosius and re­oorts that the mess hall has been rebuilt .l_ong the same lines as before. It now

has 4 large picture windows in it and new qu&rters for the cooks have been provided in the east end. We a r e all anxious to see the results. Many other minor camp repairs have been made too.

ALUMNI ASSOCIATION MEMBERS . 11 peopl e who have attended the Normal College should know that they are eligible (not only eligible, but urged) to join the Alwnni Association of the Normal College. Graduating students are given one year complementary memberships by the Alumni. After that the dues are ·$2 per year, pay­able· to Mr. Ray Zimlich, 6125 Haverford P..ve., Indianapolis, Indiana.

1954 HOMECOMING LANS UNDER WAY The officers of the · 1umni Asooci:ttion had n mooting on pril 1 to plan the 1954 Homecoming. Suggestions from some of the younger ~lwnni indicated that help in som of the extro.-curricul·1r ncti vi ties would b , most welcome. In consequence, through the efforts of Peggy Hope, our secretary, n bowling clinic h(.s been set up . She has obtained the services of Mr. Milton Raymer, Ex.-SeGiy of the American Junior Bowling Congress of Chicago. He will devote at lea.st two hours on Friday after Thanksgiving to the teaching of bowling skills. It will be a teaching po.rticip~tion session so bring bowling shoes and a bowling ball if you have them, if not bring flat heeled shoes. This session will be held at the Delaware Alleys, close to the college. We may also have a session on cheer leading , another problem for high school teachers, and another session on tho use of reco:-.:J, ., cd rausic for rhythmics. Any suggestions will be gratefully received • The rest of the Homeco~ng will follow the usunl plan; Square Dancing on Thurs. evening, Luncheon on Friday noon, Demon­stration on Friday afternoon and the dance on Friday night.

IN iPPRECfoTION I would like to express my deep apprecia­tion for the wonderful letters I have r eceived from so many of you. I am very sorry that I do not have time to answer each one individually. Ple~se accept this note in place of a personal letter . Thank you again. Your letters are always very welcome.
